No Compatible APKs found for the device

Question

I was testing the new version of Ionic framework with Capacitor as I tried to build and run my app on emulator and my device I faced this error without success in installing app

No Compatible APKs found for the device.

after lots of search and struggling to fix this and lots of fails, as I was talking to one of my friends about it I realised maybe this is related to build configuration.

as I could not find similar anywhere I decided to share the answer here maybe helps and save someone time.

Answer 1

No Compatible APKs found for the device.

This error appears to your Build Output when android studio cannot find the related APK file generated, so by a simple change in your buid configuration you can fix this, in my case I fixed the problem like this: thorugh this section select:

Edit Configuration

default Deploy option under Installation option is set to

APK from app bundle

by changing it to

Default APK

you'll be able to build and run your app successfully.

I hope it help you to run your shiny app asap;p
